OCB
Did you know OCB stands for Odet-Cascadec-Bolloré - a brand of cigarette rolling papers manufactured by Republic Tobacco (original rolling papers). Here's a quick peak.
O - OCB’s first paper mill was erected on the banks of France’s Odet river in 1822. The founders cited that “it’s very useful to have water nearby when you’re making paper”, especially since at the time it was difficult to get large amounts of water for making the necessary pulp.
C - In 1893 OCB rented the Cascedec paper mill in order to expand their business. It was with this decision that OCB began to move from simply being a rolling paper factory to being a true company. When the Cascedec mill was first rented, rolling papers wasn’t the mill’s primary product. OCB had up until that point been sharing factory space with producers of letter paper, cotton paper, muslin paper and other paper products. As OCB papers grew in demand, they eventually became the primary product of the mill, which culminated in OCB buying it in 1917. In addition, OCB has used its YouTube page to advocate for the addition of a “lick” option on Facebook, under the claim that a mere “like” has lost its distinction. They are still awaiting a response from Mark Zuckerberg.
😆 (love it).
Bollores! OCB was founded by Rene and Guillaume Bollore along with Nicolas LeMarie. The Bollore Bros preceded six generations of Bollore paper makers who would guide the company upward. The second generation of the Bollores were able to officially trademark the name OCB in 1923 and begin mass exporting to the United States. During the WW2 occupation, the Bollores had their engineers open a North Carolina mill just to keep up with the American market. It was during the mid-1900s Bollore Era that OCB conceived some of its most novel ideas, such as sponsoring the 1948 Tour De France with a truck that could cut and fold paper and producing bible pages.
I hope you enjoyed this composition.
